Chapter 441 Afternoon Tea
Zong Shimeng called to invite Lu Jiaxin for afternoon tea: "I asked Meitong and Xinyu, they are both free tomorrow afternoon."
“I'm on vacation now, so that's fine.”
Because the afternoon tea appointment was at the manor, Lu Jiaxin did not wear a skirt because she was worried about bugs. Instead, she wore a smoky gray T-shirt and blue straight jeans.
When Shi Xinyu saw her, she smiled and said, "I never noticed your legs were so long before."
Lu Jiaxin always wore long skirts when meeting them before. Although she looked very tall, her legs were visible. These pants fully revealed the advantages of her long legs.
Zong Shimeng lamented that it was better to be young and look beautiful no matter what she wore. Unlike myself, no matter how much weight I lost after giving birth to three children, I couldn't lose the weight I lost before pregnancy. Moreover, when it comes to losing weight, both my mother-in-law and my great-grandmother disagree, saying that women are too thin, dry, unattractive, and not prosperous in the family.
After drinking a cup of Qihong tea, Zong Shimeng smiled and said: "I heard from my Zhifeng that you and Nie Zhan went fishing two days ago?"
Lu Jiaxin knew she couldn't hide it: "Yeah! He saw that I was bored, and he just wanted to take a rest, so he went out to sea for a day. With good luck, he caught a tuna of more than 30 kilograms and a grouper of more than 20 kilograms for lunch. A whole fish feast.”
She feels that good luck is one thing, but the most important thing is that sea resources are now abundant. Unlike more than 30 years later, overfishing has resulted in a sharp decline in marine resources.
Shi Xinyu took her arm and said, "Jiaxin, be sure to call me next time you go out to sea. I also want to go fishing."
Zong Shimeng was overjoyed: "If Jia Xin and Nie Zhan go out to play on the sea, do you want to go with them to watch them show their affection throughout the whole process?"
Shi Xinyu couldn't possibly watch them being so mean and say, "I will definitely call Tao Yong on board! They show off their affection, and I can show off too."
She never compared Nie Zhan with Tao Yong. Nie Zhan was very smart since he was a child, and his family also focused on cultivating him. Now he is in charge of many companies. But my boyfriend didn't rely on his family, and he made hundreds of millions of dollars by opening an investment company in Hong Kong based on his own ability, which is also very impressive.
Lu Jiaxin liked her straightforward temperament: "If you also want to go out to sea, then let's go by ourselves and not let the men come together, which will be an eyesore."
Shi Xinyu's eyes widened and she said in disbelief: “You actually said that Nie Zhan is an eyesore?”
Lu Jiaxin thinks there is no problem with this: "Let's go out to sea together, and it will be an eyesore if they follow us! There are only a few of us, so we can say whatever we want, do whatever we want. If we want them to talk and do things together, we will be constrained."
In fact, there is no difference to her. It is Zong Shimeng and Yu Meitong. The two of them took care of the other half the last time they got together.
Yu Meitong asked: "Aren't you afraid that Nie Zhan will be angry if he hears it?"
Lu Jiaxin said with some confusion: "Why should I be afraid that he will be angry? He doesn't call me every time he goes out to play with friends!"
Shi Xinyu was unwilling: "Tao Yong wants to go out with his friends. If he doesn't take me with him, I will be angry."
Yu Meitong said nothing.
Lu Jiaxin didn't say that their idea was bad. Everyone's needs are different: "I definitely want to have my own social circle. But for his friends, they can play together if they want to drink. If they don't get along, they can play their own way." "
She also feels that she has a close relationship with the three of them, and if she doesn't get along, she won't force herself because of Nie Zhan.
Zong Shimeng said with a smile: "Nie Zhan doesn't live with the elders, otherwise when you get married, you will definitely be wronged." Zong Shimeng said this out of emotion, and he suffered a lot of grievances when he married into the Hu family. But there is bitterness and sweetness, and these are not enough to be explained to outsiders.
Lu Jiaxin spread her hands: "I don't like to be controlled by others. If Nie Zhan has strict elders above him and likes to interfere in the affairs of younger people, then I will definitely not marry him."
Yu Meitong was shocked: "How can you not let go of such a good man like Nie Zhan?"
Looking at Nie Zhan being so kind to Lu Jiaxin, many daughters regretted not taking action because of their coldness.
Lu Jiaxin said with a smile: "If his family lets me be wronged and does not stop it, then he is not a good man. I am a self-centered person and will not wrong myself for anyone."
Shi Xinyu agreed with her words: "My dad and mommy said the same thing, no one can let me be wronged. If Tao bullies me bravely, they will teach him a lesson for me."
Zong Shimeng became envious after hearing this. Lu Jiaxin dared to say this because she had the capital; Shi Xinyu said this because she had the support of her parents and brothers.
Yu Meitong was a little sad. She had been angry with the Fu family several times. But her parents didn't support her, and her fiancé thought she was making a fuss out of a molehill. She had a strong temper and did not complain, but asked Lu Jiaxin: "Jiaxin, I want to go out to work, what do you think?"
Lu Jiaxin was a little surprised when she heard that she was going to work instead of opening a shop for business. However, Lu Jiaxin agreed with her idea: "Of course it's good, and I will be enriched after working."
Yu Meitong said with some distress: "But Fu Ye didn't like me to go to work, and even bought me a bag, which was enough for several months' salary. He also said that if I wanted to have some free time, I would go dance and learn flower arrangement and cooking skills, but I didn't like it. None of this interests me.”
Lu Jiaxin did not comment on Fu Ye's words, but just said: "Don't you want to do business? You don't go to work, you have no experience and don't know anything about how to do business?"
Yu Meitong understood what she meant: "Jiaxin, I want to apply for a job at Wufu Jewelry."
Of course Lu Jiaxin would not object. Meitong really likes jewelry design. She even won a design award in college. She has real talent and practical knowledge, and is not just messing around like He Yanyan. She smiled and said: "Wufu Jewelry is currently short of people. You will definitely succeed if you apply. But you still have to say hello to Fu Ye first, and you can't hurt your feelings for this."
“Jiaxin, thank you.”
“Thank me for nothing, I haven't done anything.”
Zong Shimeng suddenly said: "Jiaxin, your Green Forest is retail and Chery is fast-selling. Will you still make ready-made clothes and children's clothes in the future?"
Lu Jiaxin nodded and said: "Yes, retail and fast-selling are all available. Ready-made clothing, children's clothing and underwear are also essential. But I am studying now and don't want to be so tired. I will wait until next year."
Not only clothing and jewelry, she is also planning to get involved in cosmetics and perfume. Of course, she would not open a cosmetics company. It would take a long time from preparation to sales. That would be too slow. After the stock market crash, she plans to acquire a cosmetics company.
Zong Shimeng said: "Jiaxin, I also want to make children's clothing."
Lu Jiaxin made this guess when she asked her about it. She smiled and said, "Just do it if you want to! The market is so big, it all depends on your ability to make how much you can do and how much you can make."
Yu Meitong said with some worry: "Sister-in-law, if you want to start a children's clothing business, my uncle and aunt won't agree to it."
“I'll convince them.”
